Ivory Cross
The Ivory Cross was one of the most organized mercenary guilds in Sargava, now known as Vidrian. It began operations in 4680 AR, and as of 4710 AR consisted of almost 100 mercenaries. Platoons of Ivory Cross warriors often accompanied merchant caravans bound for Kalabuto, now known as Umnyango, and on expeditions into the Bandu Hills. Many Sargavan colonials employed its members as house guards, and many young colonials consider joining the Ivory Cross to be financially lucrative and join the company each month—often leaving the Sargavan Guard to do so.
As of 4710 AR, the Ivory Cross's company commander Quilis Fortuna sought a contract with Baron Utilinus to protect the city of Eleder, now known as Anthusis. Fortuna claimed that the Ivory Cross's primary goal was to protect commerce by maintaining security and order in Sargava. However, unsubstantiated reports alleged that members of the Ivory Cross violently coerced farmers and staged the burning of steadings in retaliation for refusing to grant Elederian merchants favorable terms, and then framed Mwangi tribes for the violent acts.
Fortuna had also held talks with the Aspis Consortium, leading to rumors that merchants from Bloodcove would, or had already, turned the Ivory Cross into a front.1
The fate of the Ivory Cross since the Vidric Revolution of 4716 AR is unknown.
